Crying on the treadmill

I do not understand what is happening to me! On Friday I was running as fast as I could on the treadmill, listening to Black Eyed Peas, when I started bawling - right in the middle of running. And this wasn't the first time! I don't know if it's the sudden endorphin rush or what. It's like all the stress that's wrapped up inside comes pouring out; sometimes it's actually tears of joy. It's the weirdest thing and yet it feels SO good. Crazy. (And I don't stop running either :)
I took a wonderful two hour nap today. I thought that kids made the Sunday nap obsolete, but locking myself in the bedroom in the basement did the trick.

Mia has started throwing tantrums. Last week she laid face down on the floor at McDonald's, crying and kicking her legs, because I took away a chicken nugget that she was eating off of the floor. Lovely. She becomes indignant when we tell her no. Especially when Daddy tells her no. But she still looks like an angel.
 

Darek is constantly pretending. This is him putting gas (dirt) in a bucket which he will then put in his 4 wheeler. He is alternately a lion, penguin, a Mom or Dad, Max (and I'm Ruby), or anything else he can think of. He is very into "best friends". When I get mad at him or send him to his room, he'll cry and say "But you're my best friend" and to be honest - it totally works. He has a different best friend every day of the week. He has been such a GOOD boy.
